What's the optimal Myers-Briggs?
Actually I expected that, and was surprised no one had called my bluff on that. I was positing that possibly the Judging attribute of Myers-Briggs is correlated with the propensity to accept collectivism for its (false) promise of rendering (fair and effective) judgement on others (a form of Stockholm Syndrome) and not instead rail against with "Give me liberty or death!". Or just in general needing judgement to be rendered by some authority, e.g. even a business collective (you know who I am thinking of  ). I am not sure if that theory of mine is true. I have only tested it anecdotally. My hypothesis is that those who test towards Judging instead of Perception, have an emotional need for control. I surmise they feel life just couldn't be fair and meritorious if everyone didn't play by the same rules. What they miss is the fact that life is never going to be the same for any two individuals. Path dependencies of life are divergent and impossible to rationally judge any two paths by any fixed, involuntary common set of rules (one size can't fit all situations, which is why a jury of peers was the closest to "fair" (i.e. optimal outcomes) because they can weigh all the circumstances with more proximate but imperfect knowledge and understanding). What they miss on a deeper level of analysis is that life is inherently never one playing field and thus it is entirely a waste of time worrying about what others do. The goal of life is what you can do with your life. Your concerns about others should be in terms of your actual interactions with specific people, not some abstract rule or concept of people you will never meet and thus have insufficient understanding of and insufficient rationalized incentive for meddling. I could write a book about this. I could expend a lot of time contemplating this subject matter. There is far too much to cover in forum posts... ...interesting topic. Your hypothesis is certainly corroborated: "They [NPs] have little patience for social customs that seem illogical or that obstruct the pursuit of ideas and knowledge. This may place them at odds with people in the SJ (Sensing/Judging) types, since SJs tend to defer to authority, tradition, and what the rest of the group is doing.[2]" [2] Keirsey, David (1998).

Just beautiful:  Also, bid side is over 700 btc currently, approaching an alltime high! Not going to lie. That was my purchase that broke that trend line.  There were a couple of other people who came in right after me to make the candlestick more exagerated, but i was the one who bought enough to push it above the trend line initially, they just pushed it further above the trend line. I wanted some more monero sure, but i also saw the opportunity to potentially light a fuse. I was with ya buddy, .0031x or so  Ha. Cool. I couldn't help but wonder who that was, though i didn't ever expect to find out. You were both late   wasn't really much so  I'm hoping we're still early  |

That only works out on a bearish market. If the markets would be bullish, buying one chunk makes more sense. Just don't obtain that amount as the last one.
The whole point of the method, as far as I am concerned, is that it optimizes the average case under the assumption that you don't have an edge on bull/bear calls. There are still pathologically pessimal cases, of course, but not under typical assumptions about the nature of a financial time-series. What I love about aminorex is that he's usually right and I learn one or two new things every time I try to decipher what he's written: http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0003uYCould you decipher this one? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg11003261#msg11003261 |

No doubt about it. ... http://cointelegraph.com/news/113207/coinbase-is-tracking-how-users-spend-their-bitcoins"Coinbase has recently been demonstrating why consumer regulation is such a problem. The company seems to be tracking what their customers are buying with Bitcoin and closing any accounts involved in transactions that the company objects to." http://www.coindesk.com/bonafide-raises-850k-build-reputation-system-bitcoin/"Moyer, who started his career doing signals intelligence for the army and later for the NSA, used cash as an analogy for the way bitcoin is right now pretty much anonymous [but right now pretty much not at all]. He said: “You know if I bring you a million dollars of cash there is something wrong. The reason is, you have no way of knowing where that money comes from [but you definitely do with Bitcoin :malicious grin:].”" |

Not exactly to me, the behavior isn't consistent with the words said. If not working more part time because of funds was the case, why would atrides not simply keep donations open?
He did, and I sent a small additional donation after the initial round, but the rate had died down to the point where it was clear the original target was not going to be reached in any reasonable period of time. If it was just a scam to raise donations, why bother with the code work (though it didn't appear to be a huge amount) in March? He's not asking for donations now, so there is no reason to keep up appearances if he didn't actually intend to do the work. Okay I see now. I haven't had a close look at the repo but I thought its lack of work was also suspect, but managing another project would be reason enough to give him some benefit of the doubt, unless he was referring to his mining pool... Speaking of which, a decent reason I'd imagine why he'd bother is that he still has a usable reputation with his mining pool. Why prematurely sabotage that when he can just string suckers along for no cost? I've seen and had my fair share of burns, hence my pessimism when I see things to be weary of. Again, I always hope for the best. Agree on all counts. Of course, he his pool is successful and he wants to protect its reputation, it would be dumb to ruin his reputation over one fundraiser. But you never know, dumber scams have happened. My guess, quite honestly, is that once he got into the work he found out that open bazaar was in worse shape than he realized in terms of maturity, and hard to make it work at all, much less with Monero. That would agree with everything else I've heard about the project. He may also be a bit embarrassed about not being able to deliver, though if my suspicions as to the cause are correct, he really shouldn't be. Usually in these cases better communication is preferable even if the message is a disappointing one. But again I don't know. (Although I donated, I never bothered paying attention to the private messages to donators.) Well, BitBay just came into my awareness. I doubt it can be applied to Monero, but if their devs can do so directly, I'd suggest that those that have a stake with atrides request their coins back or if not, ask to explore this code base and see if it can be found useful. |

I was just about to ask for his btc address when I looked over the terms of my bet. It seems I stated that 2.5x is equivalent to 250%, and that's true, but a 2.5x increase isn't equivalent to a 250% increase, so in a string of luck the wording of the bet would still have guaranteed a win. Albeit I was wrong originally.
Weaseling out on a technicality even though the context and intent was clear tells a lot about one's character. Can't say I'm surprised though. OK let's be like that. The bet is on, you now owe me .4 btc as 2.5x is equal to 250%, which is what I originally bet and to which you agreed. happy to provide escrow to anyone who wants to bet with each other. Would anyone enjoy making a betsofmone.ro? |

Heya everyone! Onemorexmr, fluffypony and I put together something that will make it easier for everyone to buy monero (with bitcoin)!! Basically, its a bot that buys Monero on Poloniex for you - so you never have to log on to Poloniex again! You set up a new poloniex account, deposit some BTC in poloniex, get some API keys from poloniex, put those keys into BuyMonero.net, deposit some XMR into buymonero.net, and then sit back and watch the monero roll in. One of the reasons we put this together is because Poloniex can be somewhat of a hassle to use. Another reason is to provide an easy way to acquire a lot of monero with minimal effort, without making the market go crazy, and at a good price. If you have any questions, please checkout the bitcointalk thread or the getmonero forum thread. https://forum.getmonero.org/2/economics-and-trading/258/buymonero-net-btc-cost-averaginghttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1017131Awesome, thank you you three! But I'm curious, is there a technical or safety reason why you direct us to "set up a new Poloniex account" instead of our existing ones? |

"You all", "everyone", "they" (which can be singular or plural), etc.
I know people don't mind, but it is an affect of our male-dominant culture that should be made aware of, or in the case of the natives, an affect of an ignorant colonist culture.
OK, so maybe we are drifting a bit off-topic, but: So, "you all" (also pronounced "y'all" where I come from) is the politically correct way to refer to a group of mixed-gender persons? Yeah why not It might offend the solipsists. Little do solipsists know, Socrates was the OG of solipsism Edit: “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” |

Is that an answer?
I was honestly asking.
Sorry 5w00p, I use "why not" all the time as, I don't (yet) see any significant reason as to why you should stop yourself from such, as a general life philosophy. |

It's not incorrect. From Merriam-Webster: 3
a : man, fellow
b : person —used in plural to refer to the members of a group regardless of sex <saw her and the rest of the guys> Or perhaps you prefer Oxford: noun
1 informal A man:
he’s a nice guy
...
1.1 (guys) People of either sex:
you guys want some coffee? Sorry for off-topic, but I'm not a fan of people trying to dictate what language is "correct" to use in a non-technical setting, especially in this context where both of the most well-known/respected dictionaries agree with the asexual usage. Also, sorry, but it's a man's world Do what you want, I'm not stopping you. I'm just trying to make aware its cognitive effects. Dictionaries tend to record popular usage (where did popularism ever leave governed society?) of language but etymologically, a guy is still a man, making guys to refer to anything other than a group of men, etymologically incorrect despite a social norm. You don't refer to a female as a guy. A guy definitively represents a male. If you're interested in the controversies, subtleties, and implications of continuing this defect of culture, it's a career-long topic of Prof. Hof that he can give rhetoric, general and specific anecdotes, and just enjoyable conversation about, for every reason that I agree. In summary, it propagates a subtle male supremacy of society in a world where women are continually harassed by social norms. Don't get me wrong, I still slip "guys" incorrectly at times, but I always catch and correct myself now that I know better. |

Aren't you a bit picky there? I'm not a native speaker but always thought it could be applied to mixed group (men + women) when addressing people in a friendly manner? Anyway, it's nice to see the chainradar story finishing happily! It's common, but incorrect. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=define%3A+guy |

Honestly, don't get me wrong, but I am very surprised that you as a core dev do not educate your users on how Monero works, but actually reinforce silly FUD. Luckily, the math is neutral to everyone.
...
lol why you no edumacate us fluffypony? No intend to offend anyone, but I think this whole issue could have been extinguished, not escalated. Not intend to offend you, but YOUR "bug" + Trolls = escalated. Fluffypony's time to prove the trolls wrong = extinguished. What I don't know for sure is if you are on the side of the extinguishers or the escalators. Seriously. Perhaps folks like Ricardo will be more patient... but I have signed no contract to be. Keep digging. Guys, my bad, sorry. I edited the post so that it's not offensive. I'm not in the situation, not following the forum recently, so from my perspective there was no need to test anything with ChainRadar, as the answer is pretty clear: it is impossible. Secondly, I repeat that it is the issue from since the start of the project, and for all currencies, not just Monero. Well all seems to be good now, though if there's one tiny bit that bothers me, it's the use of referring to a general body of people that is possibly not exclusive to males as "guys" in the above post, which is still inherently sexist despite how commonly it slips. You can thank Doug Hofstadter for that pet peeve of mine. Edit: http://www.alternet.org/story/48856/why_sexist_language_mattershttp://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.html |
